Ambreen Butt, artist, Dallas
Moderated by Jennifer Casler Price, curator of Asian, African, and Ancient American art
What does the art of the past mean to the artist of the present? In this ongoing program, artists and architects discuss works in the museum’s collection, share special insights of the practicing professional, and relate older art to contemporary artistic concerns, including their own. Ambreen Butt will talk about several Asian paintings in the collection, discussing how various techniques employed in the creation of these works—such as the process of papermaking, layering of materials, and calligraphy as a form of mark-making—are echoed in her own artistic practice.
